Bonfire Tonight In Parking Lot; Rally To Follow In Villa

Verbose speeches, which have sounded the death knell to many a rally, will he at a minimum, ac¬ cording to Mr. Narduzzo. In their place, the cheer¬ leaders will gyrate through their new yells, and the ROTC Band, under the di¬ rection of Capt Donald Pagel, will entertain with numbers carefully cliosen from its vast repertoire. "Brevity will also be the key¬ note." interjected Narduzzo. "The tonsils," he explained, "get dry pretty fasti"

Canisians To Donate
From December 10 to 14, the St. Vincent de Paul So¬ ciety will offer to Canisiians
an opportunity to show their Christmas spirit. During this last week of school before the Christ¬ mas vacation the Society will take up its annual collection.
The money from this collection will be used to make up Christmas food baskets for distribution in the parish where the Canisius Conference works.
Last year the Society distrib¬ uted food and toys to about fif¬ teen families. But poverty is not a seasonal thing. Besides the work at Christmas, student contributions support the organization's spiritual and corporal works of mercy throughout the year. Relief is given to poor families and to the sick in hospitals continually. A scholarship program was revived this year with a grant to a parish boy to enable him to attend Bishop Ryan High School.
The collection quota for this year's drive is set at $.50 per stu¬ dent. Donations will be accepted by collectors in the Philosophy and Enghsh sections.
